Dago was looking at the information he had gathered on the long list of Angus' rivals and current enemies and sighed at the messy whiteboard. "This is a damn mess." He said.
"Sure is. Mr. Malfoy." Silver asked.
"Call me Dago!" Dago said.
"I have something that might be helpful to you on your project to find dad. It's a journal by dad." Silver said.
Dago turned as Silver approached him with a leather bound journal. He took the journal from Silver as Mara arrived back in the library. He opened and leafed through it and smiled. "You have brilliant father, Silver." He said with respect in his tone.
Silver smiled. Mara stepped between them. "I've found it. I want you to look at the footage." She said and gave him a broke blue snitch into his hand that was open with a glowing core inside.
Dago took the blue snitch and used his metal wand to flash a red light over it before he handed it back to Mara. "Bella. I need you to put a play back on the images I just flashed." He said.
"One moment. Alright it's coming up now." Bellatrix said with out looking up from her controls. She grimaced. "Damn it." She said.
"What's wrong Bellatrix?" Dago asked in concern.
Bellatrix shook her head. "I got it. Just wait for the image to come up." She said.
"Do you need help holding your position in this space?" Mara asked.
Bellatrix looked up in surprise. "Yes. Can you give me a hand?" She said.
Mara hurried over to the workstation and they talked very quietly. Mara followed Bellatrix's lead and helped her to fix whatever problem they were trying to solve.
Emily started to go over toward them but Silver pulled her back. "Leave them to whatever their doing. The footage is coming up now." He said quickly trying to distract his sister.
Dago said nothing just grinned and folded his arms across his chest. He looked up as a magical window appeared before them as James stood in the secondary library dressed in white T-shirt and jeans and no shoes writing on the whiteboard with his hand in one hand and a book in the other grinning.
Suddenly a man of pure golden energy appeared in the room behind him. James dropped his book turning drawing his peacemaker from the air. The golden blasted James with spear of light. James fell motionless to the floor and then the golden figure leaned down and took hold of James' body lifting him up over his shoulder and disappeared.
Emily cried silently as Silver stared at the image. Dago walked over to the magical window and put two fingers to it. The image blinked and then slowly started to move his fingers to the left side of the window.
Emily gasped as Silver stared in amazement as Dago started to play back the moving images in the window back slowly and then he put his index finger to the window on to the image of the golden figure. "Silver. I will need your assistance." He said.
Both Emily and Silver came closer to Dago's side as he stood with a focused expression on his face and sweat coming down his brow. "Silver. How masterful are you at creation magic."
Silver shook his head. "Not to well. Emily mastered a 2nd degree of the skill. While I mastered mist magic as my focused point of study." He said.
Dago nodded. "Emily. Set your focus on the image of the golden figure take hold of it and make a copy of it to set in the middle of the room here. Do you understand my instruction?" He asked.
Emily nodded. "I do. I haven't done anything like this before but I will attempt to do it as you asked me to." She said nervously.
Dago laughed. "Well. Welcome to the ride, Emily. This is the joy your father and I live for. Your about to push magic to it's limits. There is no going back after today. Silver you will need to work quickly while I told the image. You must strip away at the illusion to push past the lie to the truth afterward remember to record everything your sister has done for the achieves at this point onward. When your ready?" He said.
Emily shook with giddy excitement and Silver stood in the middle of the room as a mist appeared around him and in his hands. He nodded to Emily. She took a breath in and out. "Let's go, Mr. Malfoy." She said.
Dago laughed. "Take the image!" He said.
Emily reached out to the image of the golden figure and took a copy of it in her hands lifting it out of the window and set it down on the carpet. She went down to her knees holding the image and started to sweat. Silver worked fast grabbing at the image as he began to stirp away the layers of golden cloth from the image fast with his glowing misty hands.
"Come on Silver. You got to work fast." Dago said in a warning tone as sweat went down his face and neck.
Silver moved around the image of the golden image ripping away at it until for a second the image of man bathed in white was revealed and then it vanished away.
Dago fell to the floor breathing heavy and laughing softly. "Damn. Damn What a rush." He said happily as he sprang to his feet." He said and clapped his hands.
Silver and Emily were staring up at him looking pale and sad. Silver shook his head. "I'm sorry. I didn't get the true image long enough for us to see who it was behind it. I failed." He said.
Dago shook his head. "No lad. You both took the first step to a grand journey. We're going to find your father. Lad. Now for a snatch." He said taking out his wand he pointed it down at the floor by both siblings and large tray of snatches and two glass mugs of butter beer appeared beside them. "Eat something your going to need something to eat." He said and looked back toward Bellatrix and Mara. "Are we good?" He asked.
Mara looked at him. "You've got maybe twenty-four hours if that. You'll have to move fast Dago. Do what you can but you can't delay a minute more." She said.
Dago nodded. "Bellatrix put the timer up. We're going to move fast about it." He said. and looked at both siblings on the floor. "Eat up. We're not done. I'm going to need you to back on your feet. We're going around the clock." He said.
